For a Permanent Park.

"Kniter," in Jacksonville -Ne,cs-Heuld, COM
menting Cpen the intention of the Tallahassee
Land and Improvement Company to lay off the
beautiful and romantic Long grove into city lots,
has this to say on the subject:
Cut up that beautiful grove into town lots ana
extend streets through it +! Perish the unworthy
thought. 1t would be little short of vandalism.
confess was considerably cut up myself when
read the paragraph, and CHANGING To be in ITALIA
hassee day two later, | sought Mr.. Saxon
out and entered protest, in the name Of all
Florida and OF every historical and romantic
tradition which attaches TO the place, against
such wanton destruction of the Long Grove. Mr.
Saxon heard me through patiently, and then
quietly drew from his pocket the following letter,
written evidently by woman, and expressing
my own sentiments so much better and more
briefly, that begged him to loan it to me for
reproduction here:
JACKSONVILLE, FLA, June l, 1887
Mr. g. W. Stron.,
1t grieves me to see that you contemplate cut
ting up the Long Grove into city lots | should
cry Woodman, spare those trees Let me
suggest to the Land and Improvement Company
10 retain the grove and as much more OF the
land as would be desirable for park, and lay
out city lots to the north OF il. There would be
no park in Florida TO compare To il. and il
would Surpass the park in Savannah. 1t would
be great attraction TO your city, and be great
inducement TO visitors to remain longer in your
lovely city
Think we'll of it before those lovely trees are
cut down. Indeed if the seventy-tive acres
were retained for park, it would reward you in
after years II you can't afford it, sell it to one
of the mionares North tor that purpose. 1t
is far ahead of the grounds Flager bought in
St. Augustine.
AN ADMIRER OF TALLAHASSEE.
Ii was most gratifying to learn that feminine
heart herein jacksonville had been moved,
and that an unknown feminine hand had
put in so early protest | cannot think that
the citizens of the Capital City will allow this
romantic spot TO be sacrificed. Mr. Saxon
tells me that he is determined to divide up the
greater portion of his purchase INTO residence
lots. But cannot think that the city of Talla-
hassee or the public spirited men OF wealth who
make il their home will allow this opportunity
Tor securing park the most beautiful one III all
Florida, to pass by Think of the thousands Of
people all over the country who have read A
Tallahassee Girl" and have made pilgrim ages to
the Long Grove for no other reason than to
revel in the romantic influences Of the spot
where the fair Floridian heroine dweit. Why,
if we happily possessed such treasure here in
Jacksonville, no amount OF money could tempt
US to cut 1t up into house lots and kitchen areas
forsOoth | know that the young men and
women OF Tallahassee will protest, also; for, by
the kindness of Mr.. Richard Long, the place has
always been resort for them, and its walks
have been the scene of many a vow and pledge
now sacred. | hope to hear ere long that Taa-
hassee has made the Long Grove a permanent
public park

ENJOY LIFE

What truly beautiful world we live
in! Nature gives us grandeur of noun
tains, glens and oceans, and thousands of
means of enjoyment. We can desire no
better when in perfect health; but how
often do the majority of people feel like
giving it up disheartened, discouraged
and worn out with disease, when there is
no occasion for this feeling, as every suf-
ferer can easily obtain satisfactory proof,
that GREEN'S august No,cer, will make
them tree from disease, as when horn.

direct causes of seventy-6ve per cent. of

ing symptoms. Three doses of august
